You might know this already, but "Bash in POSIX mode" is not quite POSIX. For
example, arrays are not defined by POSIX:
http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Bashism#Arrays
Yes Bash even in POSIX mode handles them:
$ bash --posix -c 'z=(2 3 4); echo ${z[2]}'
4
Dash rightfully does not handle them:
$ dash -c 'z=(2 3 4); echo ${z[2]}'
dash: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
